I like to mention the benefits of the annual travelcard. I encounter so many people who aren't aware of the benefits. I was never told myself (and this was before I'd joined FT) but I wondered why it said 'Gold Card' on my travel ticket and Google provided the answer.

For those reading this thread and learned something new: if wanting the discount on HEX you need to use the National Rail (FGW) ticket machines at Paddington and go to a ticket desk at Heathrow. The nice people who run the HEX don't offer discounts on their machines.
